MOLTENO Shares New Single ‘Our House Is On Fire’

London-based atmospheric dream-pop singer and songwriter MOLTENO has just shared her brand new single Our House Is On Fire, the first single from her upcoming EP Element 1!

Out now via 1000 Moons, Our House Is On Fire is a hauntingly beautiful piece of dreamy alt-pop music drenched with shimmering synths, reverberating beats and moody guitar riffs that effortlessly back MOLTENO's celestial vocal delivery and lush harmonies. The whole song is packed with raw emotion and touches of melancholia that instantly won me over from the start. 

Inspired by the lockdowns, Our House Is On Fire explores moments that one's home can feel inescapable, especially when there are some family or relationship issues. This message is wrapped around a memorable production that provides an almost haunting sonic atmosphere that sounds perfect for a chill, introspective day alone. Check it out below!

 

 

MOLTENO says of her new release, I was lucky enough to stay in the middle of nowhere in the first lockdown and there was a quietness and a sense of eeriness and social isolation that seeped into the studio at the time. With ‘Our house is on fire’, I wanted to explore the way homes can feel inescapable in periods of change like relationship breakdowns or family dysfunction. Like the house is slowly burning. Seeing no planes in the sky and hearing almost total silence for the first time in years or maybe ever, made me reflect on what we’re doing to our planet and contemplate another way that isn’t setting it alight.
